Africa

Most of you are probably living a very good life , but there are kids that are not as lucky. There are manny countries like Africa but today lets concentrate on it. (just because some places are poor does not mean that some African children have worse lifes than us),.
Problems:
Malaria (child dies every 30 seconds)
water (there is a problem with water and somme people travel kilometres to get it)
food (some people just can't afford it)
education 
and more...

 Things like washing, fresh food, education, doctors and homes bases for some luxure for others.



Maybe none of us would help if the situation was getting way better in a quick time but its not in some places its getting worse.


Using a relative measure of child poverty, an impoverished child growing up in a developing country suffers more hardship than most children living in poverty in a developed country. Poverty in these countries is a condition usually characterised by a severe deprivation of basic human needs (UN,1995). It is estimated that one third of all children in developing countries (~674 million) are living in poverty, the highest rates being in the rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (over 70%). War, disease, corruption, lack of resources and harsh environmental conditions afflict many of these countries, contributing to their poverty. These factors are a major cause of death, which in turn leads to a higher number of single parents and orphaned children.
